biographical history: Alexander Gleis (1913-1999) and his wife Wanda Gleis (nee Feuer, d. 2010) lived in Stanisławów, Poland (Stanislav/Ivano-Frankivs’k, Ukraine). Gleis survived the Polish front, and he and his wife survived the Stanisławów ghetto, but their newborn daughter was killed during an Aktion in the spring of 1942. Just before the ghetto’s final liquidation, the couple was hidden in an underground shelter by their Polish Catholic rescuer, Stanislaw (Staszek) Jackowski, with 30 other people. Their son, Akeda, was born in August 1944, the month following Stanisławów’s liberation by the Soviet army. They made their way to displaced persons camp in Germany and then to Israel in 1949, where their daughter Ruth was born.
